Abstract:
... Air pollutants can potentially lead to nitration of allergic proteins, thus promoting sensitization of these allergens. However, little is currently known about the nitration status of house dust mite (HDM) allergens. We identified the occurrence of nitrated products of two major HDM allergens Der f 1 and Der p 1 in dust samples collected from college dormitories in eastern China and assessed thei ...

We collected sediment cores from Lake Taihu to: investigate the long-term record of MCs (MC-LR, MC-YR, and MC-RR), explore the main environmental drivers of MCs, and assess their public health and ecological risks. Results showed that MCs content in all cores increased over time. The co ...

Abstract:
... Rainfall-induced surge waves in rivers are still today considered as an elusive and non-realistic phenomenon that has continued to mystify researchers and practitioners alike since the kinematic shock theory introduced in 1955. This is mainly due to scarce sightings of real cases, as well as physical and numerical uncertainties and sporadic calculations. In order to overcome such indefiniteness, a ...

Abstract:
... The spatial variability of the aquifers' hydraulic properties can be satisfactorily described by means of scaling laws. The latter enable one to relate the small (typically laboratory) scale to the larger (typically formation/regional) ones, therefore leading de facto to an upscaling procedure. In the present study, we are concerned with the spatial variability of the hydraulic conductivity K into ...

Abstract:
... The Lowest navigable water level (LNWL) is an important indicator used for navigation design to balance the relationship between navigation safety and economic benefits of a waterway. However, it is a challenge of accurately estimating LNWLs due to the nonstationary characteristics of observed water level data series. In this study, a comprehensive framework was developed for handling this issue. ...

Abstract:
... In the international oil trade network, trade shocks triggered by extreme events may spread over the entire network through trade links and even lead to the collapse of the whole system. To investigate the robustness of the international oil trade network under targeted attacks (i.e. shocks) to economies, we focus on the concept of “too central to fail”. The results of the centrality measurement o ...

Abstract:
... In the natural environment, animals can face potentially dangerous and often regular exposure to major environmental fluctuations such as flash flooding and drought, or the approach of a predator. For many aquatic species, exposure to these ecological disturbances triggers the release of “disturbance cues” – generally characterized as chemicals released when animals are startled but not injured.

Abstract:
... In this review, we challenge the perception that behavioral incompatibilities are an important factor driving relinquishment of dogs to shelters. This belief dates at least to the 1970’s, when, in response to pet overpopulation, shelters and researchers began to collect reasons for relinquishment. We review studies on reported reasons for relinquishment, the prevalence of corresponding behaviors a ...
